Yikes - just what we need up here. Some ex-jock from California telling us what's best for our government positions. As much as I admired Walton as a player, I'm not sure I give him any credibility on these types of issues.
Maybe I'll send Senator Metzger one of those bumper stickers that are so popular up here - "Don't Californicate Oregon".
